I am not certain that we did react as poorly as we are being led to
believe, especially when compared to most other countries.
For example:

If you want to compare to a country that is sucking hard, point at Spain.
The government allowe and _sponsored_ nationwide feminist protests while the virus was known to be in the country and not isolated, which resulted in many portestors getting infected. Including most of the politicians that organized the event. They ordered containement messures few days after, when the government had already had their protests and voters happy.
The government socialized protection equipment the rude way. They walked into many warehouses that stored facial screens and masks and took them away even when the owners had stated they were willing to distribute them at low prices. Obviously everybody who had factories producing these thing have closed them, because they are not willing to manufacture them just to have them stolen.
The government also stole masks and other protection equipment that employers had stocked to distribute among their employees. Many of these firms now have no means to protect their workers since they have been taken away from them.
The government nationalized working labs after purchasing counter-feit tests from a foreigner agency. The government is activelly withholding the working tests because they don't want possitive tests to appear in the statistics. Meanwhile, exposed professionals (such as doctors) often remain untested and have to manufacture their own protection.
Certain provinces have a mortality rate of about 75% for patients that are connected to a ventilator.
They announced some stimulus plans for firms that are suffering loses because of the virus and the self-employed. To this day my finantial team does not know how you are supposed to access those plans.
Most of this is insider information. The government is announcing publicly that everybody is getting tested and that there are mass campaigns of distribution for protection equipment. They are claiming that in international forums and such. But it is simply not true.
Spaniards are always boasting their welfare system is among the best of the world and often critizise the US. Draw your own conclussions.
